L O N G Over~due!

Studio One began as the creative spacein the unfinished portion of our lower levelof our 1970's Ranch Style Home!

This is the space where I do card making,scrapbooking, gift wrapping, floral arranging and c r e a t i n g!

Several years ago, I owned and operated a Handmade Cards with a Vintage Flair home~based business in Studio One.

I've come full ~ circleand Studio One is once again my c r e a t i v e space!After 8 years,not only have my needs for this space changed,but my choice of decor for this space is changing, as well.

My first design choices were a Spring theme.There are no windows in Studio One.Having a Spring themed decor allowed me to be surrounded by soft pastel shades for continual inspiration.Returning from our Annual Trout Fishing Trip,after a week of rest and relaxation,I now had a vision for utilizing Studio One's space.With new floor layout in hand,I began the task of moving the furniture I deemed necessary into place.

Then the task of re~organizing each area began.Donations to our local Thrift Shop and Goodwill,along with some major furniture pieces being sold @ Bits 'n Pieces this past Autumn, gave me the spaceI sought to bring about those changes.

One of those needed changes is a the addition of a painless window.I view this as my "window of opportunities".

Pausing briefly,as I began the preparations for Celebrating Christmas On Crooked Creek,I've now finished re~organizing of the storage shelvesthat flank one entire end of Studio One.

Having defined the needs of my space,I will begin to make the decor changes to enhance each area.In keeping with a Vintage Flair,I want to incorporate a more streamlined decor here, as well.Adding soft hues, lightening some of the dark furniture and the addition of fabrics to soften the concrete walls are a few of the updates I have projected.

I am, truly, inspired and motivated to seea soft palette transformation in Studio One.Stay tuned and I'll reveal each project as we go.Until next time. . .Thank You ~for your patience while I was encouraged and advisedhow to continue without a browser button to upload photos!I appreciate your continued patiencewhile I'm still trying to work through this handicap!!!
